Classic City Marathon

The Classic City Marathon, held in Athens, Georgia, offers a marathon, half marathon, and a 2-4 person marathon relay, including a special Greek Life relay team. The course features a scenic route known as "the city on the hill," with downhill stretches leaving Athens and uphill returns, plus some additional hills. The race is well-supported with a 6-hour course limit and a 7-hour finish line open time.

Participants receive finisher medals and awards across various age and gender categories. The event emphasizes runner-friendly organization and sustainability, allowing medal opt-outs. Packet pickup and an expo are held the day before at the Classic Center in downtown Athens. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
